By-election coming up in Eastleigh

Conservatives are favoured at the moment, I understand, but who knows what the turn-out will be? Will the winner manage more than 10 per cent of the electoral vote? Will UKIP manage to muster a reasonable number of votes? They ought to be able to do so in Eastleigh but that means nothing. Anyway, there we are. The news that the bones of the last Plantagenet King have been definitely identified is far more exciting even to someone who is genetically and behaviourally disposed to political nerdery.
